nc: FHLB Grant for NC 1st Time Homebuyers Down Payment Assistance
- 01/28/11 04:11 PM
Many people haven't heard of the FHLB (Federal Home Loan Bank) grant program for 1st time home buyers in North Carolina, so I thought I'd share information about this great program. Similar programs may be available in other states. This program is only available through member banks of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. The only participating NC banks that I am aware of are RBC Bank and Monarch Mortgage. As of today, both of these lenders have their 2011 funding for this program. I know loan officers with both of these lenders, so let me know if you need a good loan officer to … (5 comments)

nc: $8000 tax credit as downpayment... HUD says program NOT killed!
- 05/21/09 04:58 AM
According to my lender sources and The Arizona Herald article "HUD says bridge-loan program hasn't been killed", HUD is still moving forward with a plan to let first-time homebuyers use the currently available tax credit of up to $8,000 as collateral for "bridge loans" to cover the down payment on FHA insured mortgages. According to the article, HUD spokesperson Brian Sullivan stated that the program details haven't been finalized and would not say when the bridge-loan program would be initiated, or whether it would be substantially different from what originally was announced. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that this program will be … (9 comments)

nc: When a Buyer Changes From Conventional Financing to FHA or VA... AFTER CONTRACT
- 05/14/09 09:32 AM
Recently I became aware of a real estate transaction where the Buyer decided to change from Conventional Financing to VA Financing, after the effective date of the contract. This Buyer didn't ask the Seller to contribute toward their closing costs. The Buyer decided that they wanted to get a VA loan, so their agent sent the FHA/VA Addendum to the Seller's agent requesting the Seller's signatures. Here's the problem... VA loans prohibit Buyers from paying certain types of fees that are often charged by lenders, escrow companies, settlement agents, and title companies. They are called "non-allowable" fees. They still get charged anyway, but Buyers are "not allowed" … (2 comments)
